User reviews

Game changer!

Downloaded this app to limit the amount of time I spent doing unproductive things in my phone, and to make socialization more meaningful. I’ve tried both the free and paid versions, but only really need limits on one app so the free version works absolutely fantastic on its own! It functions well (minus the occasional widget glitch) and does what it says it will do! I love the amount of customization it allows for as well, even with the free version!

Good for cutting down screen time

The coolest feature is the ability to use another app to gain time for another app, so you could atleast do something to earn the doomscroll. Not many other apps do this and I feel tonic does it best!

Easy to get started

Fits one I’ve ever stuck with

This app is actually helpful

I was trying to find something to help me be more mindful and intentional with my every day life. This app has been so helpful!

Thoughtful

Appreciate the thoughtful way this app works to combat unnecessary screentime, instead of blocking you completely it helps improve other areas of your life. Plus it’s actually easy to use. Definitely a fan!
